System sequence

Message structure in order

  • Newsletter footer. Closes with subscription-safe footer content.

Production guidance

How this moves into delivery

  • Edit the MJML recipe when you want to adjust structure, copy order, imagery, or CTA destinations.
  • Use the compiled HTML when your ESP, QA handoff, or review process needs final delivery markup.
  • Review the system order below before customising so the message hierarchy stays intact across clients.

Layout system

Use layouts as reference architecture, then edit the underlying blocks

These public layout pages exist to show message order, block stacking, and the relationship between a full email and the underlying component system. Template Hedgehog Pro is there when your team wants the complete system archive locally for faster assembly and handoff.

This page helps you

  • See the full compiled email before editing
  • Understand which component blocks form the stack
  • Move from recipe-level structure to block-level customisation cleanly
